I'm wondering whether to extend the patch - if the mail server name does
not end with a dot, BIND treats it as relative to the zone.

So if you do:
ipa dnsrecord-add example.com @ --mx-rec="10 mail.example.com"

dig would then return mail.example.com.example.com

The correct way of adding it is (note the trailing dot):
ipa dnsrecord-add example.com @ --mx-rec="10 mail.example.com."

This is in line with how nsupdate works, so should we just document it?
A smarter way might be to check if the hostname ends with the zone name
and append a dot, but I'm not sure if that perhaps /too/ smart..

While we're at this should we enforce that prio is>= 0 and<  MAXINT ?

Good suggestion, thanks. As per the MX record documentation I found it
should actually be between 0 and 65535, so this is what the patch
enforces.

Jan's suggestion to rename the parameter is also included.



Rob reminded me that the example included was actually wrong. New patch
attached.

ack, pushed to master
